Edit: 489092 We started a text-based skype chat. It is still active. I know Skype is a pain in the ass, but you can see that C2 really was smitten with the idea.
I see new users joining the group, so a quick bump to say that this invite remains open to all. I'm pilot3033 on skype, just mention something about flying east in your contact request.

I agree. IRC, Skype, Steam? The comments are awesome, but a group chat could be fun as well so we can debate all the little details without clouding up the comments section.
What are we plotting about with regard to austraeoh -- and unfortunately no skype. IRC would be possible though. Oh and I just submitted my first story here -- wish me luck.
I remember when there was only ONE IRC as opposed to all of the different ones, the web did not exist, and there was just irc, telnet, gopher, ftp, and a couple of other things. But yes my desktop isnt set up with a camera and I wouldnt want to use my portable when I just did all this stuff on my desktop with my U2410 monitor. Skype is probably overkill for text -- you do this often? If so it might be worth it just to have a chat with fellow bronies. Hrmf -- lets look for it.
450433 450436 I prefer using IRC when I can, but I was trying to use the same network the site does (IRCHighway) and it was being uncooperative, I suppose I can fire something up on freenode or the like. Sadly, not too many people actually DO use IRC though, skype seemed to have a wider install base.
Hrmf they want a lot of info -- and I do not have a speaker for my pc either -- kind of odd, i970, 580 video card -- but I never had need to actually talk over it.
Hrm -- I was going to give it my real email address... I do not do enough things that are ... that way ... to need a spam address thusfar... IE I do not have a twitter or a facebook or anything like that.
Go to sleep early one night, and look what happens. Not only do I miss some fantastic comments, but y'all go and make a frickin Skype group where we can pad each others' conspiracy theories! And I missed it! Now that just won't do. No sir.
450444 It is stressful. I wish it could import formatting from Word, as I avoid Google products as a matter of principle, so Docs is out. As long as you abide by the rules, it should be approved in 12-24 hours, depending on how busy the mods are. Now we just need to wait so us Austraeoh fans can read it!
451581 Well my computer won't accept it - it's a loaned computer and the admin has blocked access to it unfortunately -
I'm thinking of getting the new operating system for my Ipod so that I can use that, however the new system removes several useful features (such as You-tube ), so it is something of a trade-off there. [I'm trying that now, so let's see how it goes ]

I have no idea what you're talking about...
Hahahahhaehehehheh
Alright. A Skype group has been made. PM me your Skype if you wish to join the group.
It'll be lonely if it's just me and Pilate...
But ya know, Austraeoh, not pudding.
(you can PM me as well)

Skype is free and easy to use. No need for cameras or anything. IM'ing works like a charm. As Pilate discovered, IRC is very user unfriendly.

450438
Speakers aren't necessary either.
Grumble -- silvadel is taken -- that is very annoying.
450438
I made all of mine up and gave it the e-mail address I use for spam.
Hrm -- I was going to give it my real email address... I do not do enough things that are ... that way ... to need a spam address thusfar... IE I do not have a twitter or a facebook or anything like that.
Ok I installed it -- now what.
I will say submitting a story here was stressful -- I hope it gets approved and people like it.
tappa tappa -- I installed skype -- now what -- it made me silvadel1 but it is showing my name there.
Can I just lurk? I probably won't have much to contribute, but I love reading other people's theories and such.
450442 can you get Skype on IPad?
If not ok
If yes. How?
I'd be more than happy to join in Skype, if I could get the darn thing to actually work when I tell it to create my account >.>
450471
Lurking is perfectly acceptable.
450478
I know a guy who regularly uses Skype on his iPod, so I assume so. As for how, no clue, as I don't use Apple products.
450481
GET ON IT!
Go to sleep early one night, and look what happens. Not only do I miss some fantastic comments, but y'all go and make a frickin Skype group where we can pad each others' conspiracy theories! And I missed it! Now that just won't do. No sir.
450498 well that helps
450501
Make one and join!
450504
At least you know you can.
450506
I'm trying, but my network doesn't want to play nice with Skype. Bad network. No biscuit.
450507
Let me know when it starts working.
450508
Success! Needed the latest version. No auto-update on Skype?
450509
I guess not?
Now I need that Skype name so I can add you!
450441
My name was taken, too. Grumble indeed.

YouTube has an app, and skype for iOS should work on iOS5
451625
Bah! My ipod is too old to go past iOS 4.2.1, and you need 4.3 for Skype. 'Till I can buy my laptop rather than loan, I can't skype
451643
Bwah!? I just realised that it says that this thread was posted on the 1st of January.
451646

Same username I take it?
454498
Heh, how'd you guess?
I see new users joining the group, so a quick bump to say that this invite remains open to all. I'm pilot3033 on skype, just mention something about flying east in your contact request.
489092
Or send one to me, csquared2012. I'm almost always on Skype, so I'll add you as soon as I see the request.
What is it you guys talk about on skype anyway?
(not that anything is gonna stop me from joining but hey, preperation never hurt)
450413
I just sent you a request on skype
Is this still a thing?
909720
Nope. We're all dead and gone. Nothing at all remains. Nothing.
What's your Skype name?
909720
yes
